Last saturday I was invited by Enigma for a night out. I had to do some last minute shopping because I was wearing a plain shirt that day and we were going to Martinis, one of the latest bars located in Mandarin Oriental Manila. Good thing there are lots of sale items this time of the year, so I was able to grab a nice polo shirt. I don’t want to look underdressed or over-dressed either.

It was my first time to drink a martini! And this was the first two glasses. The light colored one is called Lychee and the other one is called Muddy. They both taste great! No wonder this is James Bond favorite drink! Shaken, not stirred dahlings!!!

Here’s my friend Enigma and the Donna of Martinis. She happens to be the PR of the place. Enigma is toasting a glass of Voodoo. Ohhh!!! I wonder what elixir is in that concoction?

This one is Martinis bestseller! It’s called the Chocolate Chili! One sip gives you a taste of the sweetness of chocolate, while the chili flavor starts kicking in once it gets past the tongue and into the tonsils and into the esophagus and one can feel the burning sensation slowly trickling down into one’s stomach giving one a tingly sensation that I simply can’t explain.

Ah, but my favorite drink is the one I am holding here, which has lots of leaves in it! Totally fit for a vegetarian like me! This one’s called the Manileno. I wonder why, though?

Anyway, I will be uploading other pics later. This will have to suffice for now. Till then, I am waiting for the rain outside to stop so that I can go out and play….
